19:00:09 <suehle> #topic roll call
19:00:12 <suehle> oh hai
19:00:14 * jnalley is here
19:00:18 * Sparks 
19:00:27 * nirik is lurking around if he can assist with anything.
19:00:43 <suehle> Four people? That's just out of control. :D
19:01:10 <suehle> #topic Alpha release announcement
19:01:17 <suehle> #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F19_Alpha_release_announcement
19:01:36 <suehle> I'm going to take a spin into it later, though probably not until tomorrow, so if there are other volunteers, don't let me get in your way. :)
19:02:42 <suehle> #topic Videos
19:03:01 <suehle> This isn't a long topic so much as a note that the videos team has something going on, so I gave them the Vimeo login to start uploading.
19:03:42 <suehle> They want to create videos for each team in Fedora--that would be interesting.
19:04:15 <suehle> It also reminded me that the person who has fedoraproject on YouTube has never replied to my request that he share the love, so to speak, which is distressing.

19:04:26 * AnnaE waves
19:04:29 <suehle> ^^ existing videos
19:04:29 <AnnaE> from Portland
19:04:33 * suehle waves back :)
19:04:41 <suehle> #topic Summit
19:04:43 <suehle> Since you're waving :)
19:04:57 <suehle> Summit planning is happening! Any of you planning to be there by chance?
19:06:56 <suehle> Well, we're planning to have roughly the sort of booth we did last year, but the bonus frosting on the... cow? Bow on the alive/dead cat? Something like that... will be an on-site Raspberry Pi contest.
19:07:19 <AnnaE> yay Raspberry Pi contests
19:07:42 <suehle> heh
19:07:51 <suehle> AnnaE, anything else much to say about Summit yet? nothing comes to mind
19:09:18 <suehle> We can come back to it if so
19:09:23 <suehle> #topic Fedora Magazine
19:09:48 <suehle> fedoramagazine.org is live and more or less ready to go. It really just needs theming help, which is largely about just help, because I'm running out of hours in a day.
19:11:17 <suehle> You guys are chatty today. :)
19:11:21 <suehle> I am still here, right?
19:11:25 <nirik> yes. ;)
19:11:35 <suehle> That's good at least!
19:11:44 <suehle> OK, I'll talk about something that I know will make Sparks type.
19:11:48 <suehle> #topic New FUDCon
19:11:51 <nirik> probibly you all will want a stable of articles before launching fedoramagazine?
19:11:56 <nirik> heh
19:12:02 <suehle> nirik, definitely
19:12:11 <suehle> If you want a login to go start doing so, just let me know
19:12:41 <suehle> It's looking fairly likely that new FUDCon, presumably to be named Flock, will be in Charleston in early-to-mid August.
19:12:53 <suehle> This is psychotically unhinged, like planning a wedding in a month, but it is what it is. :)
19:13:04 <suehle> Which means... THE POWER OF MARKETING. For, you know, making people come.
19:13:19 <nirik> pretty short ramp up, but cool news!
19:13:24 <suehle> There's not a lot to do about it at this precise moment, but since there are actually other people around, I wanted to start making words so ideas would start happening in your heads.
19:13:53 <suehle> Evening party to be held on Sparks' boat. :)
19:14:10 <nirik> excellent. ;)
19:15:13 <suehle> OK, I think that's about all I've got to spew today.
19:15:15 <suehle> #topic open floor
19:16:38 <thunderbirdtr> !
19:16:44 <Sparks> suehle: Small party
19:17:01 <suehle> thunderbirdtr, we're pretty chill here. Just speak up. :)
19:17:06 <thunderbirdtr> suehle, fedora magazine is open good but uhm is it ready to write or still testing because I see openshift server
19:17:19 <thunderbirdtr> suehle, is it ?
19:18:08 <suehle> thunderbirdtr, you should be getting redirected to a site under rhcloud.com?
19:18:21 <thunderbirdtr> suehle, yeap
19:18:25 <thunderbirdtr> suehle, still rhcloud
19:18:30 <suehle> that's right
19:18:37 <suehle> if we end up moving it, it's all pretty transportable
19:19:27 <thunderbirdtr> suehle, so still testing. which I really wonder and I wanna see as online also who gonna write articles only marketing teams or can we also write sometime If we have something about Fedora  ?
19:19:50 <suehle> Content can absolutely come from anybody.
19:20:02 * randomuser` would probably write tutorial-style articles occasionally
19:20:21 * suehle hits the like button :)
19:20:40 <randomuser`> or, would be willing to, i should say
19:21:00 <suehle> Any other questions or comments or thoughts or bacon today?
19:21:04 * nirik could try and write some from time to time.
19:21:24 <thunderbirdtr> suehle, for durability who gonna write always * or not determined yet ?
19:21:47 <suehle> I'm not sure what your question is
19:22:30 <thunderbirdtr> suehle, for website continuity. some people must always write new about fedora right *
19:22:53 <thunderbirdtr> suehle, and for that fedora or redhat has team for it. ?or community website  ?
19:23:05 <nirik> I think the question is: is there a group of regular content writers so it's not idle/empty after a while?
19:23:20 <suehle> Well, it's part of mine and jbrooks' jobs, and I'm hoping that we'll gather some momentum.
19:23:27 <suehle> Some of the content, like board meeting notes, will be self-generating, which is nice.
19:23:38 <thunderbirdtr> nice
19:23:39 <thunderbirdtr> good
19:23:51 <suehle> We had a list going of "beat" writers spun off the old insight list that we should go back to when it's live.
19:23:51 <thunderbirdtr> thank you
19:23:56 <thunderbirdtr> eof for me :)
19:24:27 <suehle> Anything else?
19:25:27 <suehle> Go forth and have half an hour back in your days! :)
